afol fun for everyone (as long as you're 18+ LOL)
Cool new twist in the Hotwheels line. The ride-ons give your minifigs a chance to zip through your city on a speedy orange track.
Ride-on are designed to attach figures from leading brand blocks companies. As you can see from my photos they can clip on different areas via their hands and even sit in some of the rides.
This is a book I picked up at a discount store called Ollie’s (good stuff cheap). Not something I would have normally purchased (especially at full price).
Honestly, even at only $10 I had to give it some thought before buying it. But the book inside is what finally got me to purchase it.
The book has about 80 pages worth of awesome space ideas you can build with your own LEGO bricks. The remaining pages in the book are blank, lined, and graph paper so you can put down your own ideas with the enclosed pen and pencil set.
No ‘real’ LEGO elements are included with this one (hence my hesitation to buy it). You get LEGO branded gel pen, pencil, sharpener, a pen/pencil topper, and an eraser.
When the eraser is gone you get a 2×2 round brick for your troubles. It is glued in place but I found the eraser peels away easily and without leaving anything behind. So yay one brick! I like that the eraser looks like a UFO. You could use it in your MOC too, if you wanted too.
I don’t think I knew that the game figs came in classic space. This is a fun idea to make them space ships!
Picked up this little set the other day. While I feel LEGO has done the helicopter and car sets to death, this isn’t a bad little set.
Only 39 parts but for the most part they are just standard pieces to make up the helicopter. Unlike those larger sets with all the specialized bits.
The minifure is pretty nice. Although I don’t see him being much use outside a police force.
The 1×2 cheese slope is printed which is always nice. The cockpit/windshield also makes a nice little waterfall.
I can see this little set patrolling above any LEGO city. At only $4 worth grabbing it.
I am not a fan of the Friends line nor of the minidolls that come in them, but this little set has a bunch of goodness in it so I picked it up.
Come on two birds! A hotdog, bike and beverage. Any minifig would be set for an outing with this set.
A small picnic under a tree or on a park bench.
Overall a nice little build. Just wish it was a city theme and not Friends as this is a total waste of a minidoll for me.
I will keep the hair, but what to do with the rest of the weird figure?
Minions! Set # 75549 is only 136 pieces selling at $20. I do not feel $.15/pieceis a good deal. The @lego prices are going up and the piece count going down.
I was excited about this set, but honestly. It isn’t worth $20. New arms for the minions are cool. Used a regular minifig hand instead of the older version of these being all one piece.
Gru isn’t special at all. I think the face prints have been seen before and his hair is just Emmet’s in black.
The minions are okay. The goggles are part of the dome. The eyes are printed light bley round tiles ( you get one extra of each eye). Lower body is all one piece.
I have been wanting this set forever. Just for the goats. LEGO needs to make more goats.
Bag 1 has all the wonderful animals in it. The grey horse, I believe, is also only in this set as well.
This was a fun build and rather easy. Monty Python’s Holy Grail kept running through my head.
I have the other village set too. Will be doing that one soon as well.
Biggest problem with this set was that every time I put a brown piece on the model instead of the classic LEGO click I heard a distinct crack and sizzle of the plastic cracking.
The 1×1 brown bricks were the worst followed closely by the plates (any size). See the close up image below.
Brickheadz these days seem to be relegated to holiday sets only. Just about the time people were catching on to them LEGO kills them.
O well. Lucky Cat is a sitting figure where most of the Brickheads seem to be standing.
This is the first one I have built that has had a movement feature his hand goes up and down, but only a very little bit.
All kitties should have tails even stubby little ones like a manx. This guy is tailless and sad.
Fun build at the LEGO store tonight. But I thought it was for adults (well 15+). There were a bunch of under 15 kids there. Doubt they would let me show up for the dragon build.
This is the first build I have done at the store that has included a minifigure.
This is going to look good with the bookstore.
Apparently our store did not get the right parts as we did not have 1×6 plates in sand blue, but were rather given those in dark bluish grey.
Please Note: Even a build done in the LEGO store still has cat hair on it! Boris goes every where with me. LOL.
This is not a theme I pick up very often but when I saw it on clearance for five bucks I decided to grab it.
Took all of ten minites to build it. Some nice parts I did not have in those colors before.
